A stable and user-friendly solution that can be used for dynamic application security testing
We use Invicti for dynamic application security testing and to integrate files into the pipeline The most valuable feature of Invicti is getting baseline scanning and incremental scan. The solution's false positive analysis and vulnerability analysis libraries could be improved. I have been…

Easy to integrate and has a plug-in that supports both C and C++ languages
We use the product to review our software codes. We have integrated the product to review our new delivery code When we deliver a code, the solution scans the code and reports whether the code has bugs or any other vulnerability issues. Thus the solution helps us identify issues and improve the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has very good integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"The most valuable feature of Invicti is getting baseline scanning and incremental scan."
"Crawling feature: Netsparker has very detail crawling steps and mechanisms. This feature expands the attack surface."
"The solution generates reports automatically and quickly."
"Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them."
"Its ability to crawl a web application is quite different than another similar scanner."
"Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems."
"It has a comprehensive resulting mechanism. It is a one-stop solution for all your security testing mechanisms."
"The fact that the solution does security scanning is valuable."
"We can create a Quality Gate in order to fail Jenkins jobs where the code coverage is lower than the set percentage."
"SonarQube: Recording of issues over a period of time, with an indication of the addition in the new issues or the reduction of existing issues (which were fixed)."
"It provides you with many features, as it does with the premium model, but there are still extra features that can be purchased if needed."
"The software quality gate streamlines the product's quality."
"The most valuable features are the segregation containment and the suspension of product services."
"We have worked with the support from SonarQube and we have had good experiences."
"SonarQube is good in terms of code review and to report on basic vulnerabilities in your applications."
 

Cons

"The higher level vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, and other higher level injection attacks are difficult to highlight using Netsparker."
"The license could be better. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license. It's a major hindrance that we are facing while scanning applications, and we have to be sure that the URLs are the same and not different so that we do not end up consuming another license for it. Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. The licensing is tied to the URL, and it's restricted. If you have a URL that you scanned once, like a website, you cannot retry that same license. If you are scanning the same website but in a different domain or different URL, you might end up paying for a second license. It would also be better if they provided proper support for multi-factor authentications. In the next release, I would like them to include good multi-factor authentication support."
"Asset scanning could be better. Once, it couldn't scan assets, and the issue was strange. The price doesn't fit the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"Right now, they are missing the static application security part, especially web application security."
"The support's response time could be faster since we are in different time zones."
"They need to improve their support in the documentation. Their support mechanism is missing. Their responsiveness, technical staff, and these types of things need to be improved, and comprehensive documentation is required. They should have good self-service portal enhancement"
"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal."
"The proxy review, the use report views, the current use tool and the subset requests need some improvement. It was hard to understand how to use them."
"The solution is a bit lacking on the security side, in terms of finding and identifying vulnerabilities."
"There isn't a very good enterprise report."
"The reporting can be improved."
"If you don't have any experience with the configuration or how to configure the files, it can be complicated."
"There is need for support for the additional languages and ease of use in adding new rules for detecting issues."
"During the setup process, we only had one issue related to the number of available files. To perform the analysis, you have quite a lot of available file handles, so we had to increase that limit."
"The BPM language is important and should be considered in SonarQube."
"SonarQube could be improved by implementing inter-procedural code analysis capabilities, allowing for a more comprehensive detection of defects and vulnerabilities across the entire codebase."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."
"Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."
"Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."
"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."
"We are using an NFR license and I do not know the exact price of the NFR license. I think 20 FQDN for three years would cost around 35,000 US Dollars."
"The solution is very expensive. It comes with a yearly subscription. We were paying 6000 dollars yearly for unlimited scans. We have three licenses; basic, business, and ultimate. We need ultimate because it has unlimited scan numbers."
"It is competitive in the security market."
"I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."
"The development license cost is reasonable, and we've had no concerns about SonarQube when it comes to cost."
"SonarQube price is a little bit higher than Kiuwan's. Kiuwan also gives a little bit of flexibility in terms of pricing."
"The costs for this application, for the kind of job it does, are pretty decent."
"We have a license with 125,000 lines of code. We did not purchase a lot of lines but it is specific to our code environment."
"As a user and a consumer of this solution, it can be pricey for my company to support and use, even though there are many benefits. For this reason, we use the free version. In the future, as our product cycles develop and evolve at a more steady pace, we hope to invest in the licensing for this tool."
"My guess is that we have a yearly subscription. We use it quite extensively, so a monthly license wouldn't make sense. Yearly subscriptions are usually cheaper. In addition to the standard licensing fee, there is just the cost of running the hardware where it is hosted."
"I am satisfied with the pricing."
"SonarQube is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
